Captain Shreve’s visit between the pines to Haughton headlines a busy Friday night schedule involving 15 local teams in the fourth week of high school football.
Another District 1-5A opener sends Benton to Evangel. Other contests matching local teams are Loyola at Northwood, a District 1-4A opener between Booker T. Washington and Southwood at Independence Stadium, and a contest between teams seeking their first wins, Plain Dealing at North Caddo. The Lions are trying to halt the state’s longest skid, 47 games.
Airline aims for a 4-0 start when Class 4A power Franklin Parish visits M.D. Ray Field.
